Over the mad

Second time today.  This isn't turning out exactly like I planned the blog ... but find it is quite comforting to correspond with all of you this way.

First of all ... Congrats to Sherry & Mark Gomez on their anniversary yesterday.  They missed the excitement in Walsenburg with the fugitives, and that is probably a good thing.

We arrived home from Denver this afternoon about 4:00.  Docs found nothing wrong with my heart which is a blessing.  Just took a wonderful shower, and loved our kitties.  Misti fixed an awesome veggie quesidilla and I'm stuffed!  We're sitting here enjoying being home; the cool, rain and looking out at our mountain.

We'll be returning to Denver on Monday.  Have an appt with my primary oncologist, Dr. Lam, who is presenting my case to the tumor board at 7:00 that day.  Before we meet w/her, though, we're going to meet with the radiology oncology team to deterimine what the course of treatment will be ... chemo, targeted radiation (a one time shot to the brain to clean up any nasty little Thespians left over from the surgery, etc.)  Tuesday we see the radiation optomologist and, depending on Monday's outcome, possibly the radiation oncologist again for radiation mapping.  There will be many decisions to make next week, but I'm trusting in my team of doctors and the Lord's guidance.

After Tuesday's last appt, we're going to make a quick road trip to Colby and Healy.  I feel the need to visit Grandpa and Grandma, Scotty, Aunt Ide, Mama, Stan, etc.  Then hoping to run to Farmington on Friday (surprise Barb!) provided the old body is up to the trip.   

One more request for prayers.  Our son-in-law Bruce, Tammi's husband, is currently in the ER in Gillette with his appendix (sp?).  Went outside and asked God just exactly what this family has done!  The hits just keep on coming.  Think I'll be glad to see August come to a close. :-)

Okay.  Eyes are getting tired so will close for now.  Love to you all.
